Decentralized social networking is our dream freedom, with blockchain technology maybe really. And as more and more social platforms join the blockchain army, will this decentralized revolution be far behind?
Has the 2017 annual plan been completed? Have we set a new flag at the beginning of the new year? Doing a New Year's Plan is a great way to break up with all the good and bad things in the past year Ritual thing.
Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook is also a flag madman, from 2009 onwards, every year he will release a personal annual plan of challenge. Zuckerberg insisted for nine years, each year successfully completed their annual challenges. After all, it is public flag, if you do not work hard on the face.
As the personal challenge moves to a landmark tenth year, Zuckerberg mentions in his 2018 Challenge Plan: "One of the most interesting issues in science and technology today is" centralization and decentralization, "and many of us So using new technology is because we believe technology can empower people as a de-centralizing power. "
Technology is the most fair referee, it is not about anyone, in full accordance with its own rules. At the beginning of the Internet, everyone thought it would lead mankind to a new world that is more democratic and free. But today, many do not quite believe it, and with the rise of a handful of large technology companies and the government's use of massive scientific and technological means to monitor citizens, many now believe technology is centralizing power rather than centralized.
Zuckerberg has found new hope in this regard: "There are also technologies that now seize power from the centralized system and return it to people, such as cryptography and cryptocurrencies, but once these technologies are handed over to the people It's easy to get out of control and I'm very interested in delving into these technologies and understanding their positive and negative aspects, and using them well in our services. "
Zuckerberg referred to the "cryptocurrency" is block-driven. 2018 In the first year of 2018, the "blockchain" quickly became a hot technology. Someone was excited to talk about the soaring price of cryptocurrencies, and some people remained calm and kept watching.
But cryptocurrency is just an application based on blockchain technology and there are many more possibilities for blockchain for social networking giants such as Zuckerberg.
Blockchain social: the user's data returned to the user
Using WeChat to chat and like on Weibo, social networking is a "spiritual extension" that modern people can not give up. But you also have to encounter such a problem: some social networking sites on the personal account name has the strict restrictions on human, you actually can not control their own name on the Internet; published content must be approved by the site, in the face of "official Delete posts ", there is no room for personal resistance; today in the A site search keywords, tomorrow B site has the same keyword recommendations, user information disclosure makes you chilling ......
In fact, most of the current social network is a centralized structure: user-created content, social networking site set rules, store content, content distribution. User-to-user interactions are made through a centralized social network, where social networking sites, as service providers, host vast amounts of user data and may benefit from the analysis and use of those data.
Centralized social services are harder to meet the users' need for privacy and freedom, and as a result, practitioners in the industry are trying to achieve a decentralized shift through blockchain.
User data management more autonomy
The platform built using blockchain technology is a trusted, peer-to-peer, peer-to-peer social platform that lets users control their own data, creating social groups of different identities that are based on individual needs and making it easier to layer information.
User data more specific value
On the other hand, users who have high privacy requirements for personal information, those who are disgusted with commercialized advertisements will have a full sense of security, and users who are open to privacy and commercialization can benefit from it.
The Alpha release from Synereo in September 2016 utilized blockchain technology to create a user-centric social network. Synereo will provide zero privacy intrusion and ads are subject to user consent to freely review content to provide users with an additional revenue premium: advertisers pay directly to users who view their content.
Synereo has also recently been deciding to focus its blockchain on a centralized computing platform that will be able to run all of its decentralized applications, just one of which is the aforementioned decentralized social network.
The active "blockchain force" in the social platform army
More and more social platforms based on blockchain technology have emerged, driving the decentralization of social networks.
Steemit
Steemit, the emerging social networking platform in the United States, is a new type of social media platform. After users publish content (articles, pictures and comments) on the platform, users can get a system reward token Steem according to the rules of users' voting and commenting. Users of recommended articles are also paid in terms of popularity.
The "Steem" tokens rallied 20 times in a week and squeezed Ripple, making Litecoin the world's third-largest digital currency after Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Line
The traditional social networks in the bigwigs sit still, blockchain social networking has not only attracted the attention of Facebook, Japan's instant messaging application line also began to take action.
Bloomberg on January 10 citing people familiar with the matter, Line is working with several companies to discuss the use of cryptocurrency to complete the payment function, thereby increasing the platform's user stickiness. Previously, there is also news that Line is seeking cooperation with the Korean Bitcoin trading platform Upbit. Affected by the news, Line's stock price from January 9, has risen 7.45%.

Telegram
Telegram, a cross-platform instant messaging software, also plans to launch its own blockchain development platform and cryptocurrency TON ("Telegram Open Network") to support the payment of this chat tool. With this encrypted currency payment scheme, users are exempt from remittance fees when they allocate funds across borders and do not incur excessive handling fees and maintain privacy when making small payments.
The diverse army of social networking platforms joining the blockchain will have a huge boost to this decentralized social revolution, no matter who eventually wins more market recognition. For the foreseeable future, the Internet Social networking is more free, easier and safer.
